Free Eye Exams & Glasses for Students

Something new is on the way!

Navidad En El Barrio is teaming up with the University of Houston College of Optometry to bring vision support exclusively to our Christmas Program partner schools.

Details are forthcoming, but hereโ€™s what you can expect, designed to ensure that low-income children with limited access to vision health resources receive the support they need (based on availability of funds):

  • Free eye exams for eligible students

  • Free eyeglasses for those identified with vision needs

  • A straightforward process for School Coordinators to connect students to services


โœจ Full instructions on how to apply will be added here soon.


Why Glasses Matter for Kids

Good vision helps children do their best in school and in life.

When kids can see clearly, they can:

  • Learn better in the classroom

  • Stay focused on reading and homework

  • Join in sports and play safely

  • Build confidence with friends and teachers

Free eye exams and glasses remove a big obstacle for families, giving every child the chance to succeed.


Stay Tuned!

More information and forms are coming soon.



Program Note: Services are limited and subject to available funding, partner capacity, and school participation requirements.
